hmmm... whats missing is the fact that the Genesis account begins with the earth already existing, and with water everywhere on it. It does not begin with the creation of the universe. There is nothing in the bible to contradict what astronomers guess the age of the universe to be.
Huh?
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
The very first first of the first book in the Bible describes that the earth was created, not that it already exists. However, it should be pointed out that there's absolutely no details as to what processes were involved, or how long it took, so you're still correct on that point.
Basically, it starts out at the point science can never go (what started the Big Bang), then leaves everything science can explain as a complete blank for the reader (kind of like a "figure the rest out for yourself" thing).
Of course, the hints about the life arising from the earth follows with verse 2 immediately begins with the sun's light seeping throught a thick atmosphere, enabling plant life to evolves, which cleans up the atmosphere enough so that the sun, moon, and stars are visible, then aquatic life appears, then land animals, and finally, man. (well, that's one way to read it, anyway) The sad thing is, the anti-science religionists choose to understand the story in an extremely literal way that they would never apply to anything else, and the anti-religion scientists reject it because it's not written like a science textbook.
No, they're pretty much the same. In World of Warcraft, everyone does the same life/village/city/world saving quests. It adds a new level of absurdity to the "world revolves around you" level of play because it happens in the same game world.
"Hey, I just killed the evil Sir Killsalot and saved the town of Redwood!"
Just look at that neighbour you hate. Do you really want him to carry a gun?
I don't want him to have a car. He's far more likely to do harm with that. How many people are needlessly killed by the reckless use of automobiles? Where are all the anti-car lobbies?
IMO, there are advantages to having books in electronic formats, but companies are deliberately removing or restricting those very advantages. The main advantage of a book in an electronic format is to be able to copy a portion or all of a book and many times as you want and do whatever you want with it.
And the other thing that should not amaze me as much as it does is grammar. How about "Coffee May Not Be a Health Drink". "Coffee Maybe Not a Health Drink!" sounds like Ebonics.
Just wait until the repeat hits with the title "Coffee Fo' Shizzle Not a Health Drink"
A search engine that I have to enable javascript for? No thanks.
It bugs me when companies try to treat the internet as some sort of giant application server. The internet is great at serving up hypertext documents. Emulating a desktop app?...not so much.
"The cover story for this month's Discover magazine tells of a recently discovered gigantic virus, Mimivirus, that has blurred the lines between viruses and bacteria, and spurred speculation that viruses could be the reason life evolved past single-celled organisms." From the article: "This is striking news, especially at a moment when the basic facts of origins and evolution seem to have fallen under a shroud. In the discussions of intelligent design, one hears a yearning for an old-fashioned creation story, in which some singular, inchoate entity stepped in to give rise to complex life-forms--humans in particular. "
Talk about a flamebait article. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive, and there is absolutely no reason to mention the latter except to stir up controversy and hatred. And with an article title like "Unintelligent Design", it's a safe bet this is what the writer was after. Good jorb, Mr. Charles Siebert of Discover.com.
I think the main problem with this is that the roms are insanely overpriced. People want to create collections of classic games, and each game, typically, gets played fairly rarely. A modest collection of arcade roms (which, by all rights, should be in the public domain) would maybe contain a hundred or so games. I think MAME emulates over 3000 games and clones, and many go for the entire collection just for the sake of having it.
Considering the number of roms an arcade emulation enthusiast might want, and considering the market value for these games, roms should be priced at maybe a nickel to fifty cents each. Yet StarRoms was selling them for $5 apiece! No wonder StarRoms is going out of business.
I don't quite understand this obsession with duration.
It's not an obsession with duration. It's a comparison between price per "fun unit", assuming one hour spent in one game is roughly equal in enjoyment to one hour spent in the other, which is my case.
Are you serious!? Talked about overpriced. I pay $15 per month for World of Warcraft, which could easily be 1200 hours of entertainment. A good game that provides 80-100 hours of gameplay normally sells for $50 to $60. We're expected to pay $20 for a mere fraction of that? No thanks. Maybe for three or four dollars, but not twenty.
I read that one of the first music videos was done by The Three Stooges:
This song, sung in "Violent is the Word for Curly", was called "Swingin' the Alphabet". It happens to be, officially, the first "music video", in that the sound track was recorded in a studio, and the actors would lipsync to the playback during filming.
Give me a break. Who hasn't played a game that features photos or footage that is not representative of actual gameplay
Try using that kind of reasoning as a valid defense in court. The point is not that it's happened so often before; the point is that it's wrong and shouldstop.
I can't wait for that new super mario bros game to come out! I'll probably buy a DS specifically for that game. It's great to see a new sidescrolling Mario game come out again; those were the best!
Anyone have any links on information about this game? The only thing I've been able to find are a few old previews from last August.
Slashdot Mirror
I was sure Netcraft confirmed the return of the series. Oh well.
26 episodes --> 13 hours --> 2 season box sets --> $80 sales
4 movies --> 6 hours --> 4 DVDs --> $80 sales.
Half the work for the same amount of sales. Ugh.
Just look at that retarded Stewie movie for the Family Guy series. It costs half as much as a full season, yet contains only three episodes.
Huh?

*swoon* You had me at "line up and shoot the likes of Jessica Simpson and Hilary Duff for crimes against humanity".

BTW, terrible design with the "scrollbar".

I meant "got" in there. Man I suck at typing today.
Whoops. Extra zero go in there. I meant 120.

Because it takes more than five people to do it?
*rimshot*
Yes, World of Warcraft humor can be lame.
I know the word "christian" has lost all meaning in this day and age, but is this some new slang I haven't heard before?
"That's so wizard, Ani!"
Awesome. First post in the thread modded "Redundant"! Way to go, monkey-mods!
